So you say: 'What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?

They say: Jehovah does not see it. The God of Jacob does not even pay attention to it.

You are in for trouble, if you try to hide your plans from Jehovah! You think what you do in the dark cannot be seen. So you ask: Who sees us, who knows us?

Can a man hide himself in hiding places so I do not see him? asks Jehovah. Do I not fill the heavens and the earth? Declares Jehovah.

Ephraim surrounds me with lies, the house of Israel with deceit. Yet Judah is unruly against God, even against the Holy One who is faithful.

If a man makes a vow to Jehovah that he will do something or swears an oath that he will not do something, he must not break his word. He must do everything he said he would do.

When you vow to Jehovah your God do not delay the payback. It would be sin, and Jehovah your God will surely require it of you.

It is dangerous to make a vow to God before counting the cost.

Do not be late in paying a vow you make to God. He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!

You then who teach another, do you teach yourself? You who preach not to steal, do you steal?
